Lyrics by Bernd Harmsen he found relief in a brothel near the army camp kept target practising on mothers and their kids browsed magazines in the dim shine of his makeshift lamp biding his time until the day he'd call it quits no, he is no war hero just one more casualty his accomplishments were zero in this insanity he never knew the cause he should have fought for no, he is no war hero lost on some foreign shore he's not a man who one could readily admire he'd never ever been close to the combat zone stupidity had got him killed by friendly fire they threw him on the dump with clinic waste and bones no, he is no war hero just one more casualty his accomplishments were zero in this insanity he never knew the cause he should have fought for no, he is no war hero lost on some foreign shore which were the noble goals again, the altruistic motives, and heroic deeds that were in store, that had us send our sons to war? our youth have lost their chastity their bones are scraped up hastily to be sent home in body bags who should salute our dubious flags? no, there are no war heroes just more casualties accomplishments are zero in this insanity there is no true cause you could be fighting for no, there are no war heroes needed on foreign shores
